The Wines of Müller-Catoir
 
The German Wine You’re Missing
 

One of my all-time favorite German wineries has got to be Müller-Catoir. It’s no secret that the Pfalz is Germany’s premier location for the production of dry riesling, but it’s a little known fact that it’s also the sanctuary of some of the best non-riesling whites in all of Europe. Yes, you heard me correctly, the Pfalz and producers like Müller-Catoir are making some of the finest white wine that exists on the planet, and it’s not just riesling.

Last Thanksgiving I brought home a bottle of  the 2020 Burgergarten Trocken Muskateller to share with my family and the diverse foods we were going to have on the table.

Domain Drouhin Arthur Chardonnay 2019 375ml $21.90 special, 36 bottles available
Wine Advocate 97 Point “The 2019 Chardonnay Arthur is pure, precise and extraordinarily pretty this vintage, with expressive key lime, pencil lead and saline aromas, plus wafts of spring flowers and beeswax. The stunning palate combines creamy texture and fresh tang, gently honeyed fruits and citrusy uplift, which make for a very long, energetic finish.”

Cloudline (Drouhin) Rose of Piont Noir WV 2021 750ml $11.90 special, 36+ bottles available
Winery Notes “The 2021 Cloudline Rosé of Pinot Noir expresses a floral nose of strawberry blossom and hawthorns.

“Catherine et Claude Marechal, Burgundy”
 
This estate was born in 1981 when Claude Marechal, then an electrical engineer, built up enough capital to rent several plots in vineyards across the Côte de Beaune. With time, he was able to purchase these plots and expand to new ones. He was even able to quit his day job. In 1998, his wife Catherine was able to join the winery full-time. This same slow, but assured momentum in the business is reflected in the wines.
